Pseudoaneurysm of the Ascending Aorta at the Cannulation Site Diagnosed More Than Four Decades After Repair of Ventricular Septal Defect

摘要

Described herein is a 69-year-old woman who developed a large saccular aortic aneurysm at a previous cannulation site for repair of a ventricular septal defect at age 25 years. The aneurysm was resected and proved histologically to be a false one. The long interval between operations (44 years) exceeds those reported previously.
